Honour and the Shame

Many Years After Becoming the Youngest Person Ever to Be Awarded the Vc for Attacking a Company of Panzer Grenadiers on His Own - an Action That Proved a Turning Point in One of the Major Battles of the Second World War - John Kenneally Made an Extraordinary Confession. the Courageous Hero of the Irish Guards, Who Had Taken on a Whole Company Single-Handed Was Not, in Fact, John Kenneally at All, but Leslie Jackson, the Illegitimate Son of Neville Blond and Gertrude Robinson (A 'High-Class Whore'), Who Had Deserted His Former Regiment, the Honourable Artillery Company. in the Honour and the Shame, He Tells His Story With Great Verve and Frankness - a Story of Riotous Living, Great Courage on the Front Line, and Intense Loyalties. Full of the Escapades of Battle - From the Triumphant Tunisian Campaign to the Bloodbath of Anzio - and the Many Adventures of a Freewheeling Youth, the Honour and the Shame is a Vivid Portrait of a Fascinating Man.
